I once had a geode-based tablet PC with a buggy ACPI, where the device hang when I used the buttons extensively). In the end, I dumped the ACPI bios and disassembled it with "iasl". Once you get a grip to the mnemonics, disassembled ACPI opcodes are quite readable. I found some quite interesting things about the tablet that haven't been documented anywhere, e.g. most of the internal GPIO. So, if your polish friend is willing to go this route ... that's at least a possibility. -- http://www.holgerschurig.de
